See-saws, recycling and the W mass
Earlier this year the CDF collaboration published a measurement of the mass of the W boson which caused something of a stir. I even made it the topic of my slot at the rescheduled “Nine lessons for Curious People” in … Continue reading

On the new CDF measurement of the W boson mass
Just before the LHC Run 3 restart, the big news in particle physics was (and probably still is) the new measurement of the mass of the W boson from the CDF experiment. I talked about it a week ago at … Continue reading

Theory, experiment and supersymmetry
I am dismayed by the plethora of null results coming out of my experiment, as well as from our friendly rivals, at the Large Hadron Collider. Don’t get me wrong, null results are important and it is a strength of … Continue reading

Tevatron results: W marks the spot
It’s often said that without a Higgs boson, the standard model of particle physics is in deep trouble. As Bo Jayatilaka writes, if this ellipse didn’t overlap with this line, it already would be… By Bo Jayatilaka, at the Guardian.
